Down The TBR Hole #14

Down the TBR Hole was originally created by Lost in a Story! The point of it is to help cull your reading lists down, or maybe push higher anticipated releases up on your TBR! And maybe you all can help me along the way, and tell me if you’ve loved or hated any of these!

How it works:
➽ Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
➽ Order on ascending date added.
➽ Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
➽ Read the synopses of the books
➽ Decide: keep it or should it go?

I've never read anything from this author, but she has been recommended to me. I thought it would be a good idea to start at the beginning of this series. I did hear that she has a better series to read, but I think I'll stick with this one.

I was looking for a really good thriller (my fave genre) and this one was recommended to me. However, shortly after this rec, someone else also recommended it to me and proceeded to reveal the big twist. I remember being pissed at the time. Now there's really no point in reading this :(

Another author I've never read from before. The blurb is so confusing so I'm going to go off the reviews of some of my GR mates. It's an angsty sports YA. Not my usual cup of tea, but I'm still willing to try.

I've never read from this author but I see their work all over my FB feed. I probably added this one as a placeholder so that I could read this series from the beginning. It seems like good in-between reading.

This one has been sitting on my kindle for quite some time. This author is a bit hit or miss for me lately. Her books either grab me right from the beginning or they confuse me right from the start. I have no idea what this book will do.

After getting thoroughly wrapped up in the Black Dagger Brotherhood, I've come to love this author's writing. So when I saw that she had another series out, I jumped right on it. Another one I've started, which is her latest, is her Firefighters series. Danny in Consumed was superb!

First of all... DAYUM!! That cover tho! This is another new-to-me author and another recommendation. It sounds very angsty but I'm a sucker for the friends-to-lovers trope and I hope I don't regret this one.

I read Hero (book 3 of this series) and it was the first book I ever read from this author and I immediately fell in love. I couldn't stop raving about that book and I had to tell the author personally how much of a fan she made of me. I loved that book so much that I one-clicked the paperback on release day. I also gifted a copy to a giveaway winner. Everyone needs to read from this author and I can't wait to read more of her work and add more of her books to my bookshelves.

I must admit that this author's books are usually hit or miss for me. However, I've noticed that this one has gotten a lot of high ratings and great reviews, so I'm hoping it will be a winner for me too!

I've been warned about possible triggers but it's Colleen Hoover and I'm trusting that she'll take care of my heart. I think I'm one of the last people in the romance world to read this book but I honestly do intend to get to it... some time.

Verdict: Keep

I'm surprised by how many new-to-me authors are sitting on my TBR. I thought I only had a few but I'm sure I'll discover so much more the deeper I get in this dig for books. I also noticed that I kept a lot more books than those I discared. I guess the whole 'cutting down' my TBR list didn't work out so well this time, huh?

And that's it for this edition of keeping it real with my TBR. Have you read any of these books? If so, what did you think? Are any of them on your TBR and do you agree with my verdicts? I hope your TBR continues to flourish!! Happy reading!! xoxo
